    dusty would've left him in.

    candelario is 2-2 with a triple and a walk. he's definitely shown improvement: .268/.360/.474/.835 with 14 bb/15 k in july, and .235/.364/.412/.775 with 4 bb/1 k in august (coming into tonight's game). for comparison, he ops'ed under .700 each month from april to june and had a 33bb/54k ratio in those months. would say it has been a successful season for him, given his youth and recent improvement.

    just bruce willis that [expletive] back into place
  4. TruffleShuffle
    actually he's playing for the marlins' AAA club and i'm sure they'd just give him away to give him a chance to play in the majors and earn a little more cash for 2 months. i suspect this will be the route the cubs go (trading air for a mediocre vet stuck in AAA) rather than calling up boscan or flores.

    not sure about the rules for injured players, but can't they just release neal (or 60 day DL him if the injury is severe), call up sappelt (already on the 40 man) and then either call up one of iowa's crappy catchers or trade nothing for some mediocre veteran from another organization?

    i had to look up who our #5 hitter is and where he came from :lol:

    normally people do care that they're embarrassing themselves, even if said embarrassment does come via the relative anonymity of the internet.
  8. TruffleShuffle
    lol

    how is that at all analogous to trading two of the top 25 prospects in baseball, which the cubs would be doing if they dealt away the #1 and #3 prospects from their system? and curt schilling helped them win 2 world series, so the cubs can deal away their entire minor league system for all i care, if two titles is the end result.

    he is awesome at defense.

    baez diving catch preserves no hitter
  12. TruffleShuffle
    i'll go ahead and mention that jokisch has a no-hitter in the 6th inning so that he can allow a hit.
  13. TruffleShuffle
    if the gamecast is correct, baez is now 4-4 with 2 doubles and has seen 4 pitches.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    What's your point? The Packers will still win the division easily because they have the best QB in the league no matter who they put out there on the line. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rArUgvDU7E8/UV_maZS541I/AAAAAAAA8nM/CMxfR7ILdrM/s400/Tricycle_Faceplant.gif

    daytona has every day off.
  16. TruffleShuffle
    really? last year and this year the hitting numbers were pretty bad. i would think that all the coastal cities play as pitchers parks.
  17. TruffleShuffle
    that seems a little extreme. daytona's been really unlucky too. jupiter (marlins' affiliate) has played 10 more games since the FSL all star break. almsot all of the teams in the league have played at least 5 more games this season.

    this has runs per game: http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/minors/season-preview/2013/2614870.html i've always thought of the PCL, texas league and california league as the three most favorable leagues for hitters. the international league, eastern league and southern league are probably a little pitcher-friendly. FSL is definitely a pitchers league. i think the NWL and NYP leagues are definitely pitcher friendly, although boise plays in probably the most favorable offensive environment in the NWL.

    gerardo concepcion: 1.2 ip, 0 h, 1 r, 0 er, 4 bb, 1 k, 3 wp. =D>

    grimm has allowed 5 runs (4 earned) in 2 innings, but he's allowed 7 singles and has 0 walks against 3 strikeouts.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    exactly, it looks like literally every reasonably nice chain hotel i've ever stayed at.

    someone needs to get a photo of old style so that we can photoshop his head onto baghdad bob's body. http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/images/07-minister.jpg
  23. TruffleShuffle
    how on earth could you possibly know that
  24. TruffleShuffle
    yeah that's true, although i suppose they have facilities where they can do some things indoors. if they want to avoid weather interruptions, california league is the way to go, as long as you don't mind playing in an extreme offensive environment.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    We need the Frontier League to just steal High-A away from the FSL, they're already out-drawing them with a far inferior product. I'd say disband the FSL entirely, but most of the orgs in the league(all but the Cubs and Brewers, actually) are dumb enough to have their ST complexes there. actually in february/march it doesn't rain that much in florida, at least on the peninsula.
